Daybreakers

The year is 2019. A mysterious plague has swept over Earth, transforming the majority of the world's population into vampires. Humans are now an endangered, second-class species - forced into hiding by the civilised vampires, they are hunted and farmed for consumption almost to the brink of extinction. It’s all up to Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans. But time and hope are running out - until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race. Stylish and provocative, Daybreakers also stars Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill, and was written and directed by the Spierig Brothers. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)
